Cellular (T cell) immunity to #SARSCoV2 is likely to be present within most adults six months after primary infection, suggests a new pre-print released today by #UKCIC and Public Health England (Uni of Birmingham @PHE_uk NIHR Manchester CRF) uk-cic.org/news/cellular-… 1/🧵

#COVID19 | A new bioRxiv from UK-CIC (led by Professor Paul Moss, Immunology and Immunotherapy) and @PHE_uk suggests that #TCell immunity against SARS-CoV-2 is likely to be present within most adults six months after primary infection: birmingham.ac.uk/university/col…

T-cell Covid immunity 'present in adults six months after first infection' theguardian.com/world/2020/nov…

What is an RNA #vaccine? 🤔 The Pfizer-BioNTech #COVID19 vaccine uses this type of technology to train the immune system Our new infographic explains how this type of vaccine works. You can download & share it to help strengthen public understanding 👉bit.ly/2VqOQHL

It’s ok mini heat block, nobody’s ok.

Checkmate, scientists.

y’all don’t understand how much i love this video 😂👌🏽

The contribution of T cells to the SARS-CoV-2 response remains an important and unresolved question. Moss and colleagues examine T cell and antibody kinetics in a large cohort of patients with COVID-19 and find robust and durable T cell responses rdcu.be/cgobr

Some of the Vivaldi team presenting our research at the British Society for Immunology this year!

Our second paper is now out in pre-print! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection increases strength and quality of immune response in double vaccinated care home staff and residents, reveals study birmingham.ac.uk/news/latest/20… via Uni of Birmingham

So great seeing the impact of our research!

SARS-CoV-2 infection is milder in children. Dowell et al. show that immune responses are higher in children, retained for 12 months or longer and can neutralize Alpha, Beta and Delta variants. rdcu.be/cDH9v & see the Research Briefing rdcu.be/cDIcR

Well done! Alex Dowell Moss Vivaldi Meg_Butler Shamez Ladhani mosslab Children develop robust and sustained cross-reactive spike-specific immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection | Nature Immunology nature.com/articles/s4159…

"This is why non-immunologists hate immunologists..." The fantastic E. John Wherry explains the basics of cancer immunology with a focus on T cells in his beautiful and extremely clear lecture AACR #AACR22. I really recommend watching it, it's a gem - both in content and delivery.

Great couple of days at BSI Tumour Immunology !!
